National Instruments 777317-2220 Controller for Compact FieldPoint

The National Instruments 777317-2220 is an embedded real-time controller intended for use with Compact FieldPoint systems. It is the cFP-2220 model's unique part number. In order to improve control, data logging, and signal processing capabilities, this controller smoothly integrates with LabVIEW Real-Time and the NI FieldPoint driver. It offers a reliable solution for PC-based distributed I/O applications.

The 777317-2220 controller, furnished with a 400 MHz processor, 256 MB DRAM, and 256 MB of storage, provides dependable performance for industrial automation assignments. It has two Ethernet ports that offer auto-negotiation for 10BaseT and 100BaseTX, guaranteeing IEEE 802.3 compliance and 10 and 100 Mbps of connection speed. Network segments have a maximum cabling distance of 100 meters, which allows for system construction flexibility.

With two RS-232 serial ports and one RS-485 serial port, the controller allows for flexible serial connectivity. With programmable data bits (5, 6, 7, 8), stop bits (1, 1.5, 2), parity (Odd, Even, Mark, Space), and flow control options (RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF, DTR/DSR), the RS-232 ports can handle baud rates of up to 115,200 bps. In addition to enabling comparable configurations, the RS-485 port uses a 4-wire mode with XON/XOFF flow control and runs at baud rates ranging from 9,600 to 115,200 bps.

The 777317-2220 is appropriate for a variety of industrial settings because its power input voltage range is 11 to 30 VDC. Its sturdy construction guarantees dependable performance even in the most trying circumstances.

The usefulness of the in monitoring and control applications can be increased by connecting the two digital inputs and two digital outputs on this controller to basic operator interfaces. Real-time data capture and process control are made possible by these I/O choices, which enable direct connection with the system.
